Stupidity> Wanna cheap iPhone? Don’t be so damn enthusiastic
Thursday, September 6th, 2007
Ok, fine, I’ll blog about the iPhone. Jeez. My feed reader is aflame from yesterday’s announcement of new iPods (fat Nanos! touch-screen iPods!), but the biggest issue aren’t the new products – it’s the price drop in iPhone. Launched, what, two months ago, at the price of $599, it’s now been dropped to $399. For the exact same product. Humm. There have been some massive scale economics at play for the price to come down that much in just a couple of months. Now, feel free to finger-point and laugh at the people who queued to get theirs among the first.
Of course, I’ll be getting an iPhone the second I’m close to one that works globally and has a reasonable global data plan. Although… if you trust Maddox as blindly as I do, there is an even better phone out there.![]()
